The spirit is admirable, but I really believe it turned out best for everybody, the South most of all. When a regime lasts only four years it's easy to romanticize and overlook faults, but I don't think long term rule by that Confederate gang upon the necks of southerners would have worn well for very long.

Obviously, we’ll never know how long the Confederacy would have survived. The outcome hasn’t turned out so well either, what with trillion dollar deficits as far as we can imagine, new proposals to decide who lives or dies and usurpation of individual rights.
It might have been better all around for both sides to part AMICABLY than to live together as we do today.
